 I have said before that I like to take photos of things that inspire, interest and engage me. I also enjoy having slightly off-beat reminders of special events.
This photo is of some glow-stick bangles I was wearing at my friend’s birthday party. It’s going to be a reference point for a poem which I hope will be suitable for performance soon.
It brings such a lot of different ideas to the fore which fit neatly into my series. I won’t go into the theme now but I feel the juxtaposition of two elements of my personality are perfectly encompassed in the image.
It was lovely to get out and really celebrate; I completely let my hair down and although I took a few photos I left my notebook in my bag. I wanted to be completely present and that isn’t always easy when you are looking at the world with a view to recording it! My one regret was that the beautiful cake didn’t get cut (told you I would mention cake :-)). I did notice that!
Work is continuing on the poetry but this week I want to ramp it up a bit with a collective writing experience and a mindful writing session to follow it up.
For now, I am putting on my eyemask, turning off the noise and focussing on getting the first few lines of my new poem set out.
Happy writing,
EJ
